Major Nelson has revealed this summers line-up of Xbox Live Arcade games, which includes a release date for the highly anticipated Bionic Commando: Rearmed, releasing on 13th August.

EA are planning to launch the open beta test for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 soon, and in order to allow gamers to check if their PC's will be able to run the game, EA has revealed the first details on the system requirements.

The beta period for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix has been given a longer lease of life and Capcom still want testers to submit any problems they find.

The beta is only available on Xbox Live and in order to get in on the action you'll need to have bought a copy of Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3.

Kevin Feige of Marvel has hinted that a new entry into the Marvel Vs. Capcom games could be on the beat 'em up horizon.

Recently Capcom have been working on Street Fighter IV, a tribute and rekindled love affair with the 2D beat 'em up genre so it seems a likely possibility.

Earning achievements in the first Gears of War will, as Epic has now revealed, unlock some extra goodies in Gears of War 2 multiplayer.

It hasn't be announced whether all the unlockable content will only be related to multiplayer as only three of the 'linked achievements' have become public so far.

Cryptic Studios announced today that it has secured the global rights to develop and publish Star Trek Online, a massively multiplayer online game based on the legendary Star Trek franchise, from CBS Consumer Products.

Cryptic will unveil the first Star Trek Online gameplay footage as well as details about this highly anticipated MMO at the annual Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas on Sunday, August 10, 2008. The presentation will be at 1:30 p.m. PDT in the Gene Roddenberry Theater. Cryptic will also have a webcast available for fans who aren't at the convention.

Microsoft has decided to drop membership fees for premium online components to PC games. The much controversial subscription system is getting dumped.

Kevin Unangst of Microsoft has said they will be "offering refunds" to members as they acknowledge "multiplayer is a baseline expectation on Windows." It's about dang time.

Bungie's top cheese Harold Ryan says he most certainly wasn't "laughing" when Microsoft's Don Mattick told him the announcement was cut from E3.

Ryan said the team is "always concerned first and foremost with our fans." Mattick has stated an event later in the year would let gamers "interact" with the new Halo.

Malaysia's "premier PC gaming mag" sports a rather definitive cover on their latest issue, asserting that Rockstar Games is bringing Niko to PC.

Whether this is just a string of Internet rumours tied together and mused upon, or if they've managed to score some major evidence we don't know - yet. Typically R* is all quiet.

EAApoc has left a message on the official Red Alert 3 forums to let fans know that EA will soon be launching the public beta test for C&C: Red Alert 3.
